“This forum gave me the space to connect with peers, ask important questions, and get more clarity on the work we are doing. I appreciate the provocative questions and the collective space to think through how we can improve the world we share.”

FAMILY FOUNDATION CEO

“I learned so much to bring back to our foundation, including how we can make impact investments to support our mission. I have also made so many valuable connections and appreciate what a safe space it has been to meet others.”

Next-Generation Board member

“We will be making changes to our grantmaking—cementing equity, more trust-based philanthropy, more multiyear grants. The forum sparked some important ideas that I hope will inform our governance and board-staff relations.”
